My Name is
Mary
Mary
After the death of her parents, Mary and her brother Clinton were placed in the care of their grandparents. Though they tried, the children's grandparents could not provide for their basic needs and were overwhelmed with the burden of two small children. Rafiki was contacted, and the children arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. Mary is now a good and cooperative student. She enjoys learning and works hard on her national subjects. Mary is always well behaved in class and at home. She is usually found with a smile on her face. Mary enjoys reading and also does well in math and science class. Mary also enjoys playing sports and is good at them. Mary is grateful for her education, and she works hard for it. She knows that God has sent the Holy Spirit to guide and direct her, and she is thankful for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
